Manchester City were taken aback when Kerolin failed to report for pre-season training in July, before her move to Barcelona had been officially agreed. The WSL champions waited two days before mentioning the deal, eventually confirming they had received a WSL record fee for the sale more than 48 hours after Barcelona announced the signing.
The 26-year-old Brazil forward's unexpected absence from training came ahead of her transfer to Barcelona, which was formally announced on Tuesday. City only made reference to the transfer on Thursday evening, confirming the record-breaking sale. newsbetting.club
